What the what!?

The Mitt Romney campaign was behind a bill that supports banning all abortions nationwide even for instances of rape and incest...so disappointed Romney! But unfortunately not surprised...he is just doing what the Republican bullies want him to do in order to win the election....fat chance...when you try to distance yourself from the Missouri Republican who made those outlandish statements I posted about earlier and then you support and even are said to have been the head of a bill banning women's rights on abortions nationwide...EVEN in the case of rape! I am sorry but if I was raped today and got pregnant from it, I would want the right to decide what to do. If my daughter was raped at a young age and impregnated I would want her to have that choice...bc what a horrific thing to not only be raped but then have that choice to be made about what to do with the rapist's baby! Unimaginable to me. And yet it happens. I do not want pig headed men who will claim that my rape was not "legitimate" bc if it were a legitimate rape my body would have natural defenses to ward of getting pregnant. At the risk of sounding like a 13 yr old, "Are you for real?!" Bizarre
Again, I am an avid supporter of adoption and I think that the education on adoptions and the data and personal experiences of healthy and positive adoptions need to be readily available to young girls and women facing such a decision. I would much rather a teenage pregnancy end with a beautiful picture of a baby being a gift to a wonderful family, than to have that young woman live with the decision she made to abort the baby--let alone that life which could have been. But for women who have been raped...we are talking about a completely different scenario in which this Missouri elected official is too pig headed to even comprehend. I believe they deserve to have all choices in the matter.

Quote of the day:

BYU commencement in 1972, President Brown counseled graduating students to “Strive to develop a maturity of mind and emotion and a depth of spirit which enables you to differ with others on matters of politics without calling into question the integrity of those with whom you differ. Allow within the bounds of your definition of religious orthodoxy variation of political belief. Do not have the temerity to dogmatize on issues where the Lord has seen fit to be silent.” He also warned, “beware of those who feel obliged to prove their own patriotism by calling into question the loyalty of others. Be skeptical of those who attempt to demonstrate their love of country by demeaning its institutions.”

And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information
Oh, they can bend it all they want
John Mayer: "Waiting on the World to Change"

"Let us learn respect for others if we are to realize the abundant life. Man, by nature, is tempted to seek only his glory and not the glory of his neighbor or the glory of his God. None of us lives alone—in our city, our nation, or our world. There is no dividing line between our prosperity and our neighbor’s poverty."

-Thomas S Monson

"We do not believe it just to mingle religious influence with civil government, whereby one religious society is fostered and another proscribed in its spiritual privileges, and the individual rights of its members, as citizens, denied." — D&C 134:9

"And now, because of the steadiness of the church they began to be exceedingly rich, having abundance of all things whatsoever they stood in need—an abundance of flocks and herds, and fatlings of every kind, and also abundance of grain, and of gold, and of silver, and of precious things, and abundance of silk and fine-twined linen, and all manner of good homely cloth. And thus, in their prosperous circumstances, they did not send away any who were naked, or that were hungry, or that were athirst, or that were sick, or that had not been nourished; and they did not set their hearts upon riches; therefore they were liberal to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, whether out of the church or in the church, having no respect to persons as to those who stood in need." —Alma 1:29-30

Hel 4:12-13
12 And it was because of the ^apride of their hearts, because of their exceeding ^briches, yea, it was because of their oppression to the ^cpoor, withholding their food from the hungry, withholding their clothing from the naked, and smiting their humble brethren upon the cheek, making a ^dmock of that which was sacred, denying the spirit of prophecy and of revelation, murdering, plundering, lying, stealing, committing adultery, rising up in great contentions, and deserting away into the land of Nephi, among the Lamanites—

13 And because of this their great wickedness, and their ^aboastings in their own strength, they were left in their own strength; therefore they did not prosper, but were afflicted and smitten, and driven before the Lamanites, until they had lost possession of almost all their lands.
